 == Purpose
 
 This repository provides Ruby code for calculating values defined in the
-following documents:
+following standards:
 
 * International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) from ISO 2533:1975,
   ISO 2533:1975/ADD 1:1985 and ISO 2533:1975/ADD 2:1997
-* ICAO Standard Atmosphere (ICAO Doc 7488/3, 1994)
+* https://store.icao.int/en/manual-of-the-icao-standard-atmosphere-extended-to-80-kilometres-262500-feet-doc-7488[ICAO Standard Atmosphere (ICAO Doc 7488/3, 1994)]
 
-Which are technically identical documents but different in presentation and
+Which are technically identical standards but different in presentation and
 units (the ICAO document includes `ft` in addition to `m`).
 
+This library serves as a reference implementation for the values defined in
+ISO CD 2533:2025.
+
+
 == Usage
 
-=== Precision modes
+=== General
 
-There are two precision modes available for calculations: high precision and normal precision (default).
+This library contains code for two separate, but related, purposes.
 
-High Precision Mode::
-Uses more accurate constants and number calculations through Ruby's BigDecimal
-to provide results with higher precision. Suitable for applications where the
-utmost accuracy is required.
+* Calculating atmospheric properties at different altitudes. The algorithms
+  are based on ISO 2533.
 
-Normal Precision Mode (default)::
-Uses standard constants and number calculations to provide results with
-sufficient accuracy for most applications.
+* Generating tables of atmospheric properties at different altitudes. This library
+is used to data tables provided by the full ISO 2533 series:
+
+** ISO 2533:1975
+** ISO 2533:1975/ADD 1:1985
+** ISO 2533:1975/ADD 2:1997
+** ISO CD 2533:2025
 
-To specify the precision mode, set the `precision` attribute when creating an instance of `Atmospheric::Isa`:
+For the typical user who wishes to calculate atmospheric properties, there
+is no need to worry about how the tables work.
 
-`:high`:: High precision mode
-`:normal` or not specified:: Normal precision mode
+To calculate atmospheric properties, either use the formulas directly or use the
+`Atmospheric::Export::AltitudeAttrs` class to bulk obtain the values needed.
+
+
+=== Prerequsites
+
+Include the `atmospheric` gem in your Gemfile:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+gem 'atmospheric'
+----
 
-Example usage:
+Then use `require` in code:
 
 [source,ruby]
 ----
 require 'atmospheric'
+----
 
-# Normal precision mode (default)
-normal_precision_instance = Atmospheric::Isa.new
 
-# High precision mode
-high_precision_instance = Atmospheric::Isa.new(precision: :high)
+=== Atmospheric attributes by altitude
+
+The `Atmospheric::Export::AltitudeAttrs` class provides a way to obtain the
+atmospheric properties at a particular given altitude, geopotential or
+geometric.
+
+The resulting object can also be easily serialized, courtesy of the
+https://github.com/lutaml/lutaml-model[`lutaml-model`] library.
+
+Syntax:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+require 'atmospheric'
+
+Atmospheric::Export::AltitudeAttrs.new.set_altitude(
+  value: {altitude-value} <1>
+  type: {altitude-type} <2>
+  unit: {altitude-unit} <3>,
+  precision: {precision-mode} <4>
+)
+----
+<1> Value of the altitude desired. Integer.
+<2> Type of altitude. Symbol. One of `:geometric`, `:geopotential`.
+<3> Unit of the altitude. Symbol. One of `:meters`, `:feet`.
+<4> Precision mode. Symbol. One of `:normal`, `:high`, `:reduced`. Default is `:normal`.
+
+Each attribute of the `AltitudeAttrs` object is wrapped in a defined
+data class which is associated with a https://www.unitsml.org/[UnitsML] unit.
+
+Behavior of the precision mode:
+
+`:reduced`:: (default) Uses Isa::NormalPrecision for calculations with signficant digits
+rounding according to the original ISO 2533 specification.
+
+`:normal`:: Uses Isa::NormalPrecision for calculations without value modification.
+
+`:high`:: Uses Isa::HighPrecision for calculations without value modifications. This mode uses BigDecimal.
+
+Depending on the type of the value, it is in one of the following classes:
+
+* Integer. Class: `UnitValueInteger`
+* Float. Class: `UnitValueFloat`
+
+The `AltitudeAttrs` object provides the following attributes:
+
+`geometric_altitude_m`:: Geometric altitude in meters.
+`geometric_altitude_ft`:: Geometric altitude in feet.
+`geopotential_altitude_m`:: Geopotential altitude in meters.
